Very nice!!! My bedroom is the only room with out a aquarium, I am hoping to sneak one in and hopefully the wife approves lol. What is the name of the reddish plant in the middle?

Thanks.
The red plant is Rotala macrandra I believe. Unfortunately that, the Limnophila aromatica 'hippuroides'and red tiger lotus did not make it and mostly melted after shipping. But the rotala mac. and hippuroides are making a very slow comeback. the pic was on day one and it has been one month today from planting and the rest is growing like crazy. Almost weekly trimmings!

Nice job with the carpet. Was that DSM? Those luteas get a huge crown on them. I cut one after about 6 months and got over 25 plants off it

My only suggestion is to cut the intake (if possible) and move it to the back.

Thanks. Nope, just a regular tank. I personally like luteas. When I transplanted the stems from the previous version of this tank, half the stems grew reddish brown leaves and the other half grew green leaves. I don't know if that is normal but I thought it was pretty interesting. I agree, I only recently switch to a Zoomed filter, and I only plan to keep this version going until the dwarf sag fills in as I just planted it. Before then, the lutea went coast to coast in the back. I have some interesting plans for the next version so the inflow and outflow will be much more aesthetically pleasing.

Magnum, what size tank is that?

Adam C. usually has some nice looking plants for sale, some with colors other than green. lol

I'm not sure on the brand; however, the dimensions are 35x33x21 rimless and curved front corners. I have more elaborate plans for the next version of this tank. Color is definitely a priority.
